Radical congressional loader. Gen.
Garfield, was asked by the radical
caavaotion of Warren county, Ohio,
to resign, for hia vote on tha salary
grab. In his reply to them hs pots
it in tha following stinging manner.
"If the delegate* believe the retroac
tive salary clause is so infamous that
I ought to resign for voting for tha
Appropriation hill to which it was at
tached, wilt they follow out their logic
and insist that the President ought to
reaign for signing it? My vote did
not make it a law. His signature
did."
That's it —only, we can't see how
Grant could help signing the bill as it
doubled his pay. A great many radi
cal organs pretend to be indignant
over the salary steal, yet not one of
them eays a word about Grant who
signed the act and made the salary
•teal a law and thereby douoliag his
own salary. We think there is a lack
of consistency oa the part of those
virtuous radicate with an abundance
of moral cowardice.
Sontli Carolina is now governed,
from top to bottont by ignorant
blacks —in the legislative, in the exe
cutive and ia the judiciary depart
ments of her government it teems
with blacks, ignorant, thick-lipped,
greasy nagroes and some of them bare
footed. This is one of the' models of
radical reconstruction, and the scenes
enacted there are a disgrace to the
country.
Among the resolutions passed by the
Legislature at its last session was one
to postpone the election of a State
Treasurer for the expired term of Rob
ert W. Maekey, and to extend the term
of hie offiee another year. The State
Treasurer is this Stata ia not nomina
ted and elected by the people at large,
hot chosen yearly by the Legislature;
hat the constitution provides that no
pervon shall be eligible for more than
three continuous terms. This year
ende Mackey'a third farmland the reso
lution went through both houses
against the remonstrances of the Dem
ocratic members and of the reputable
Republicans. Apart from this act of
illegality, tba resolution which extends
his term does not provide for securities
and the liability of the men now on
his bonds eenae at the mid of hb pres
ent term. He will have the handling
of many mil loos of dollars of public
money without giving any security
whatever for the faithful performance
of his duty. The resolution was never
printed, bung withheld from the Pub
lic Printer to prevent knowledge of its
defects by the people, and its effect was
not folly understood by one-half the
members of either the Senate or
House.
Practical Addition. Division and
Silence.
[From tk* N. r. Smn, April 28.]
In the Pennsylvania HMJ of Repre
sentative*, April 8, a ipeech "wai delivered
by the Has. John H. Orris, of Centre
county, is which the bold rascality of the
Ring which controls the politics of that
State was not only exposed in strong and
forcible terms, hut the ofictal records of
the Ring functionaries therejelves were
brought forward to prove that the most
extreme charges of diahsnasty that
have been brought against these public
plunderers fitll far short of the truth.
Net only this, but Mr. Orris proved by
a careful analysis of tha reports of the fi
nancial authorities that these documents
have been regularly and systematically
cooked and garbled from the time' that the
State Treasury fell into the hands of the
notorious William H. Ratable, best known
as the author of the following somewhat
celebrated letter, which may be accepted
as the moral and political platform ot the
man and of his political sad financial as
sociates:
"TVcasvry Department of Prmmtylvania. 1
Harrisburg, March 20,1867. >
"Mr Dkax Titiajt : Allow me to in
troduce to you my particular friend Mr.
George O. Avast, He baa a claim <>f tome
magnitude that be wicket you to help
him is. Put him through as you would
me. He usderatands addition, division,
and silence. Yours, W. H. Kemble.
"ToTina* i. Covtet, Esq., Washing
ton, D. D."
Yet, notwithstanding all the falsiflcmtiona
of records that hava been |madh, Mr. Or
via shows a defalcation of $2,988,164 under
Bing management—that is, that this trior*
mous amount of money haa been stolen
from the state Treasury within the last
six years! This defalcation has nothing
to do with the profits which ths Ring
have made by the use of moneys in the
Treasury which have been loaned out to
individual* or banks in dafiance of the
laws and constitution of Pennsylvania.
The profits of the Ring from, this source
alone must have amounted to vast sums
annually. If all this has bees discovered
and proved from the* garbled figures of
the Ring officials, what strange develop
ments may he expected when honest men
are put over the Pennsylvania Treasury,
if ever that time occurs 7 Mo wonder that
such desperate weens to prevent n
thorough investigation were taken this
spring by the passage of a law to keep tha
present Treasurer in office a year after his
term had expired.
As to the individual responsibility for
tha atartling defalcations which have oc
eurred during the last six years, this is a
question that cannot probably bo deter
mined precisely uatii an honest scrutiny it
made into the books and accounts of tb*
Treasury from the time tbe first repreaen
tative of the Bing took possession there.
Xr. Orris In his speech refers to this dif
ficulty. saying "that the greater discrep
ancies, both in the payment of the princi
pal and interest upon ths public debt, oc
cur during thejad ministration of the Trees-
ury Department by the author ef the new
political philosophy, the main principle of
which is expressed in his own language,
"Addition, Division, and Siienoe." Ev
er since he made the addition and division,
ha and his friends have maintained the
most profound silence." And silence he
•will doubtless continue to maintain, unless
toy some fortunate turn of oEairs he and
his Banc should foil Into the hands of Jus
tice. By the bands of Justice, however,
ire do to', prefer to those of Bill Mann, or

The Werld gives Senator Nye this
parting shot, on the occasion of his ap*:
pearance in Europe:
Nye seems to b the last American
statesman whoee fame has taken the
French capital hv storm. He dawns
upon Lutetia as morning upon the Ap
penioee— a rosy vison, towering aud!
splendid. Scraps of his biography—
sibyline leaves, light fragments from
the golden book in which the silver ap
piee of his achievement are pictured— j
Kara been wafted thither. They have
haard of hit wit, of the chaste delicacy
of hia equivoques, of his skill as a ra
conteur. But espacially they have
heard the ha franked his linen home to
Nevada to be washed ; that he once
franked a hoe ; that he tried to frank
a meeting-bouse ;and that he actually
did frank a houseful of furniture, in
cluding a dog churn and a piano.
The French adore thrift. Though
mostly on pleasure beut, they have
frugal mindes. To make a franc do
its is the constant aim in
life of every Frenchman, and when, as
in the case of Nye, great wit, great
personal majesty, and ernomous talents
are nnited with economical ingenuity
their highest meed of approbatipn is
accorded.
A man has been discovered in Maiue
wbo has twenty-six children, a wife,
four grandmothers, three grandfathers,
and seveu brothers afid sisters in his
family. Under Butler's distribution of
the salary grab there will be a dollar
and twenty-six cents coming to him.
He would also do right well to be
Grant's successor, the principle of ue
poliam could be carried on as com
pletely as under Ulysses.
There is honor among thieves and
pickpockets even if there is none
among radical politicians, as wit
ueeeeth the following letter sent to
the N. Y. Tribune :
Tb the Editor of The Tribunt.
SIB : Please advise jour readers always
to leave their names and addresses in
tbeiCpocket-books. It frequently hap
pens in our butinees that we come in pos
sestion of porte-mennaiet containing pri
vate papers and photographs which we
would be glad to return, but we have ne
means of doing se. It is dangerous t
carry them about —so we are forced to de
stroy them. 1 remember an instance
where 1 met with serious trouble because
; I could not make up my mind to destroy
a picture of a gentleman which came into
my hands in the way of busn rss on the
Third-ave. road. 1 had lost a baby my
self, the year before, of the same age as
this one, and I would have given all I had
for such a picture. There was no name in
the porte-monnia, and no way of finding
out wbo was the owner, so like a fool I ad
vertised it and got shadowed for it by the
police. Tell your readeu to give us a
fair show to be decent—and always leave
their addresses in thejr pocket-books.
We want to live and let live.
Yours, truly, A PICKPOCKET. I
Will Preaident Grant refuse his in
crease of salary ? That's the next
qaeation. Much ado is made about
the salary grab congressmen —those
who take tbe increase are held up to
public acorn, while tbe names of those
congressmen wbo refuse the increase
are paraded through the newspapers
as models of booeaty and virtue.
Next then we wish to hear from
Grant about this matter. What will
be do T Wilt be pocket the increase,
or will he follow the example of some
of tbe congressmen and refuse the fil
thy lucre f What will Ulysses do?
Some months before the meeting of
the. consti tut ion A 1 convention, the
REPORTER pointed out some of tbe
needed reforms, among others a new
form of oath which might operate as
a check upon venal and corrupt giem
bers of the legislature. We see that
a few days ago, Mr. Kaine, chairman
of the committee on oaths in the con
stitutional convention, reported on
article Bth, which embodies something
of the kind, and reads as follows.
Members of the General Assembly
and all Judicial, State and county f
ficers, shall before entering upon the
duties of their respective offices, take
and subscribe tbe following oath or
affirmation: Ido solemnly swear

paid or contributed, or promised to
pay er contribute, either directly or
indirectly, any money or other valu
able thing to procure my nomination

procured it to be done by others in
my behalf. And Ido further tolmn
ly swear (er affirm) that 1 will not
knowingly receive, directly or indi

than the salary or fees allowed by law.
Any person refusing to take said
oath or affirmation shall forfeit his of

convicted of having sworn or affirmed
falsely, or of having violated said oath
or affirmation, shall be guilty of per

qualified from holding any office oi

Within twenty days after the ad
journment of the General Assembly
tine die, evnry member of the House
of Representatives, and a* ej-y Senator
whose term will expire at the neat gen
eral election, shall take and subscribe
before some officer qualified to admin
ister oaths, tbe following oath or affir
mation : "I do solemnly swear (or af
firm) that as a member of the Gener

A Lift* Itumt-aurc Suit
Washington, April 28.—The S>u
prem.'Court this afternoon decided the
cane of the Mutal life insurance com
pany. of New York, vs. Ferry, in a
case of suicide by taking poison. The
court holds that the facts show the rea
son of the deceased to have been so im
paired by iusauity that his suicide was
not his voluntary, iutelligvut act. Ou
these facts it is held that the company
is liable although the policv provided
sgaiua: suicide.

occurred here this afternoon. The rite
of baptism waa being administered to a
number of recent converts to one of the

Yiiscont Yeno*ta, the Minister for For
eign Affairs in the Italian Government,
lately delivered a speech in the Parlia
ment at Homo which is remarkable for
several reason*. It is one thing I* regard
with disapprobation the proposition made
"to recognise God ' in tha Constitution of
tho United States ; It is quite a different
thing for the a minister of professedly
Christian Government tc base hi* policy
upon the idea that God doe* exist, and to
appeal to his colleagues to act with a per
fect disregard of "God and of the next
world." This is what Visconti Yenosta
has been doing ; ai d bis words, we fancy,
will excite some horror in the minds of
even careless Christian*. Thi# Minister,
in the course of a speech urging upon the
Parliament to persevere in the confiscation
of the religious house in Rome, said
"The priests are nothing ; they have no
power to injure u*. All they are able te
do is to threaten us with the lager of God.
Gentlemen, that finger ha* no terrors for
met Ido not waste my time in settling
whether there is a God or not; I have
something else t do. It be exist, it is not
to him that I shall answer for my actions;
but to public opinion, history and my rea
son. All the European powers follow
our example ; they never trouble them
selves about God. If perchance his name
is mentioned in diplomacy it only raises a
smile. We have te watch more import
ant things ; to occupy ourselves with ques
tions that relate tothe next world, whose ex- ;
istence many doubt and which nobody ha*
ever seen, would be folly. Since all the
European power* think a* we do about
God and the next world, why, gentlemen,
do you allow yeuratlvas to be overwhelm
ed by imaginary tenor# in refeseoce to
lb* issue of the Roman question ? This
terror is not worthy of you."

THE WAR ON'THE HOOOCS
A MSASTKOI'S FNCOI'NTKB
OUR TROOPS SURPRISED
San Francises, April 29.—A courier has
Just arrived and reports that another ter
rible battle bas been fought with the Mo
doc*, in which nineteen of our men were
killod, including Capt. Kvan Thomas and
Lieut. Walter Howe, ef the Fourth artil
lery. and Lieut. Wright, cf the Twelfth
infantry. Lieut, Geo. M Harris, of the
Fourth artillery, and others Particular*
will be forwarded soon.
Lav* Beds. April 26.—A fbcennoitering
party, composed of batteries K and A,
Fourth artillery, and Company K,
Twelfth infantry, left camp at half past
seven this rooming, proceeding in a di
rection known to lead to the present strong
bold of the Modocs. Captain K. Thomas,
of the Fourth artillery, being in com
msnd A doten or so Warm Spring Indi
ans were expected to co-operate on Capt
Thomas' left. The troop* having formed
in line, the skirmishers advanced without
mo lesUticn until they arrived at the foot
of the bluff south of the lava hod*, hav ing
meanwhile signalled to the camp that no
Indians were to be found. On reaching
the bluffs
Tbe Modocs Opened a Severe Fire,
causing tho troops to seek such skelter as
they could find in tbe crevices, chasms,
etc. As usual the foe was unseen. The
first position soon became untenable, ow
ing to the fact that the Indians were able
todeliver both a cross fire and an enfila
ding fire, and the troops were so exposed
that up to the present writing (7 o'clock
p. m.) only two out of the nine wounded j
could reach camp.
THE SNOW HURRICANE.
THRILLING ACCOUNT OF TIIK
STORM IN NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., April 21.— Those who
judge ef the climate of this section of coun
try by its position on tho map would be
turpriied to feel the keen dry wind which
rise* on these high plains in a moment and
furniihe* a taste of the pole with tropical
surrounding*. But this wind of the plain*
1* a matter of course, and people are pre
pared for it. Not such a visitation as
hat of Bunday, Monday, and Tuesday,
the 18th, 14th, and l&th. A storm of snow
which i* unparalleled in wcll-authentica
ted local history, comingafter a particu
larly well-developod spring and almost on
the threshold of speedy summer, is an
event for which no preparation ean be
made and no satisfactory reason provided.
For forty odd hour* a wind blew strongly
and steadily, frequently with a velocity of
seventy miles an hour. It sufficed to car
ry houses bodily IWim their foundaliens,
to overturn walls of solid stone, to blow
car* froui the track and land them beyond
the ditrliM which drain the embankment
on either side.
Of the violence with which the snow fell
some idea may be formed when It is said
that on the Republican fork of the Kansas
River, at Scandinavia, the ferryboat
sunk under the weight of the closely
packed drifts. At Wood River. 172 mile*
west of this city, the stream, which is some
•evenly yards in width, wss chokod and
covered with snow* that rose to the lev el of
its banks probably sixteen feet, and ren
dered ihe rive/ bed undistinguishable
from the country on either tide. This in
cumbent heap of snow was not a mere
wreath or frajl arch, but fo ploioly packed
that a farmer is sajd to have driven a load:
ed wagon across tha natural bridge. Many
persons certainly crossed it on foot.
| Tho snow fall did not present a!** re
! inarkable aspect In thJFmatter of intensity.
llt not only swallowed up and destroyed
all landmark*, but drew before the places
i whet" they had been t>o thiol* a veil that
the keenest eye could not hye distla-
guisbed them at a rod'* distance. At
Scandinavia the night wa* n darker than
the day. For the two day* that the storm
raged the stormbound reeideal* could nut
*ee the hiteblng-posl* or garden feneo*
which were only twelve feet from the
window*, airong men who were visiting or
had gone to the po*t-ofllcM failed to dis
tinguUh the way home and ware forced to
remain where the alorm found them till it*
fury wa* a**uagrd, thu* adding intolerably
to the anguikh ol their familie*, who fear
ed them buried under the mounlaineu*
d rill*. Resident* round the public square
could not, between the blinding drift* and
the violent wind, reach t| cistern in it*
mid*!, though the distance wa* let* than
twenty rod*, and to were forced to taelt
•new for water. At Hastings, people were
lorrod to lake refuge in their cellar* and
burrow there like rat*, forth* *ow drift
ed in through the wall* of lb* houaa* and
formed pita* round every article of fbrni
lure At Grand Island. when the ebim
ney became choked with *now to that
Are. were Impossible, whole families went
to bed in their clothing and remained
there for two or three day*, without fuel,
food, or water. At Gibbon twenty-live
men, moat of whom had gone thither to
open a lodge of hld Fellow*, were cooped
up in a •utall house IVwm Sunday altar
noon to Wednesday afternoon, unable
even to open the door. At Lone Trae a
man named Burton, who bad gone to the
woodkhed to bring in *ome fuel for hi*
family, fouad it iuipuaslbie to return, and
bad to remain there from Monday morn
ing till Tuesday night At Kearney
another man pawed forty houn in a wood
en privy in a backyard, to which he had
wandered, thinking all the while that ha
wa* on the roadway At Bellevilla a
German name J Koch i* *aid to have grop
ed hi* way fiom hi* house to the yard for
wood, but to have been overpowered by
the *now and wind and never to have re
trurned. ili* wife, rendered desperate by
hi* absence, at lat ventured out to *eek
lor him, but loet her way, and, fortunately
brought up at the *tabl*, where be re
mained from Tuesday morning till the
same night, her two children, onp throe
I and the other nine, being left in the houee
all alone.
| The brute creation suffered terribly,
j Those that wera corralled or out on the
! plain* were suffocated by the snow ; those
thai were in subke* went mad with fam
ine and thirst Even the wild birds, to
I whom tha storm U a parent and playmate,
■were overpowered At Wood Hirer,
I prairie hen* were found under the mow so
j benumbed that they could neither ly nor
| run, end giving no token* of life when
men took them up and handled them save
by the put* at ion of their scared hearts
and the upward glance of their Inquiring
Iryca. At Grand Island they were picked
!up by dozens, dead, little lump* of ice
and tousled feather*. At Bleven*on the
,reidenu found bird* that bad broken
their neck* and wing* again*t tka hottte*
i *nd barn* in the blind terror of their aim
less flight, flung by the hurricane like
' -toi e* from ailing. At Lone Tree al
most every hog in a blockaded cattle
train wa* lost. The weakest were trod
den under foet and rent by the stronger
Many more were *uffocated.
The loss of ttock on the plnin* mu*t be
immense ; probably a half of the unthel
tered cattle have been suffocated or drown.
< d Seme herds ftlampeded in the panic
caused by the flr*t gale; their member*
were scattered ever the plains; tome
tumbled.into ravine* and broke their neck*
or legs, being killed outright or disabled
to linger till they died of hunger or suffo
cation ; other* blundered into river* and
were drowned ; others roamed about till
tbey were exhausted and ley down pant
ing and sobbing, to be covered ten feet
deep by snow before they died for lack of
air. "At Gibbon one man lo*t twenty
bend of fat cnttle by drowning; another
loet head, of which only two were re
covered." "At Lone Tree several hun
dred head are missing." "At Grand I*
land hardly a head is saved." "At Lin
coln one man ha* !<wt sevenly.flve horse*.' 1
So the report* come in from all points, in-j
dioaling a lo* of stock that will go up in
to e**re if not hundred* of thousand* of!
animals.
Among the fatal accident* recorded, the
mo*t terrible we* one which occurred at
Belleville, in Republic county. ISO miles
west ef Atchison. A prairie fire wepi<
over the country on Saturday, the day
proceeding the storm, destroying rnsny
buildings and a great deal of grain.
Among the dwelling* burned was that of
M. Crane. He was absent at Atchison, but
his wife *nd four children were in the
house. They escaped with their live# and
the clothe* they wore and took refuge
with a neighbor named Burnett. Next
day. from a sea of fire the land we* a desert
ef snow. The two families sought refuge
in the cellar, fearing lest the bouse should
be carried away. The storm drove in the
solid stone gable as a man might drive in
the side of a pa*lebo|rd box with hi* fist.
The structure tumbled into the cellar.
Mrs. Burnett being very badly erased.
On Monday morning ber husband ven
tured out for assistance. Kre he returned,
the floors, bending beneath the incumbent
weight of tons of snow, fell in a* a dead
fall-trap tumble# on the prey. Mrs. Bur
nett and her three children were killed
instantly ; so were Mrs- Crape •"<* two of
her little ones.
At Belleville several other buildings
were wrecked by the storm, though no
other live* were lost At Gibbon n snow
drift forty feet high it tbe cenotaph which
| marks where a bouse once was inhabited
by a newly-married couple, till the wind
in n moment made ruin ef the bouse and
corpse* of tho bride and groom. At
Scandinavia a flour-mill, 60 by 40, was
moved bodily about fourfeet from It*
foundations and tilted all askew.
Among the many cases of death report
ed some are of a peculiarly harrowing or
extraordinary character. At Cawker
four bodies were found, one in front of a
house, and so near the fence that tbe gate,
when opened, smote against his corpse.
|At Lone Tree a servant in a tavern went
into the yard for wood, groped hi* way in-
( to the road, and died. Those who went
jout to seek him In a lull of the storm
stumbled over a body within forty yard*
of the house. It was not that of the boj
they sought but of a trapper, whose wood
craft had not availed to guide him a few
step* forther to safety At Hasting* a
farmer named Marshall went to feed his
cattle. The barn was 200 feet from the
house, directly in .the rear, but tbe snow
was over tbe fences, and he wandeied to
one side and was suffocated. At Grand
Island two men were lost in n drift, about
thirty feet apart. At Red Cloud Mr*.
Bent and her child tried to grope their
way to the next house, the wind end snow
having rendered their ewn untenab c.
Five days after tbe two bodies were found
in the road less than fifty yards from the
refuge they sought. The child had given
way first, and tbe mother died bvsfde it
Near Tehama they found an unknown
man with a dog keeping watch over the
dead body. At Grafton Mr.* Keeier, hi*
wife and child tried to reach a neighbor's
house. Thty struggled on-it was onlr
half a mile—tho foebler one* tired and sat
down to rest "it fblt so warm." Only a
minute, they said. A childless widower
strove desperately through the drifts and
reached the house, leaving all who bore
his name buried in the highway. At
Chapman's a womVn it said to have left
her two children in the houso while she
went for wood, and never to have return
ed. The children only know that she
"went opt, there." and they "waited and
cried so long ani} so Jiard."
$o by every mail, from every quarter
comes the death roll. It is natural that
the first excitement and concision there <
should be exaggerations and duplications, i
and that sow* of tbq alleged dead should
prove to ba (till tUft.

gaged in a debate which lasted 6 hours,
on a bid regulating tbe training and
